PHOTOCATALYSIS

Photocatalysis
Professor Akira Fujishima, Ph.D.
At first glance it looks like nothing more than a simple, fine white powder. But appearances can be deceiving. This is titanium dioxide (TiO2) and it is the substance that has been the focus of Professor Akira Fujishima's pioneering research and defined his career a chemist. >> More

SPACE ROBOTICS AND SMALL
SATELLITES TECHNOLOGIES

pace Robotics & Small Satellite Technologies
Professor Shinichi Kimura, Ph.D.
Professor Shinichi Kimura is a man with a mission. In fact, he has many missions under his belt and more on the horizon. A veteran researcher of robotic applications and aerospace engineering, today the overarching objective that drives Kimura is nothing less than developing a robotic satellite to clean up space. >> More

ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN
THERMOELECTRICAL MATERIALS

Environmentally Benign Thermoelectrical Materials
Professor Tsutomu Iida, Ph.D.
Waste not, want not. This could well be the motto of Professor Tsutomu Iida. Iida is a man with a plan—an ambitious plan to harness waste heat on a global scale to protect the planet. Moreover, he is intent on generating results in the not-too-distant future. >> More

ADVANCE FIRE SAFETY SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY

Advanced Fire Safety Science and Technology
Professor Ken Matsuyama, Ph.D.
Fire and fire safety are issues that only jump onto the radar for most people at times of crisis. In contrast, these are topics that are never far from the mind of Professor Ken Matsuyama. >> More

NEXT-GENERATION Na-ION BATTERIES
AND SAFER Li-Ion BATTERIES

NEXT-GENERATION Na-ION BATTERIES & SAFER Li-ION BATTERIES
